How Laid Off in America researches, writes, sources, and updates its content.
This page explains how Laid Off in America researches, writes, sources, and updates its content. We are an educational planning tool, not a provider of legal, immigration, tax, financial, benefits, medical, or eligibility advice.
Source hierarchy
For government, benefits, unemployment, WARN, immigration, and health coverage topics, Laid Off in America prioritizes official sources: the U.S. Department of Labor, USCIS, HealthCare.gov, EEOC, state unemployment agencies, state labor agencies, and applicable plan documents. For legal-adjacent and immigration-adjacent topics, we use plain-English preparation language and encourage users to consult qualified professionals.
Update cadence
Each guide page shows a published date and a last-modified date. We review content for accuracy when relevant laws change, when official agency guidance is updated, or at minimum once per quarter.
Corrections policy
If you find an error, email help@hacestek.com with the page URL and the specific issue. We review and correct verified errors as quickly as possible and update the page's last-modified date.
Advertising and affiliate policy
Laid Off in America does not run third-party advertising on its content pages. We do not earn affiliate commissions from outplacement firms, attorneys, insurance plans, or any service we may reference. Our revenue comes from one-time purchases of the Layoff Document Self-Check and Full Layoff Triage Report.
Privacy and no-upload policy
We do not ask users to upload severance agreements, separation letters, immigration documents, or any other sensitive paperwork. The Layoff Document Self-Check is structured to work from user selections, not document text. See our Privacy page for full details.
